[ASL22] Ro8 Day 4

For a Protoss player to say that is just absolutely unbelievable. The Protoss race is by FAR the easiest to play. It’s the one that allows players with low APM to play and even reach high ranks (B/A) without needing a high APM.

I'm not even complaining about it. I think it's necessary to have a more affordable race; otherwise, Brood War would simply be too hard, and so few people would play it.

I know we're talking about the Zerg race here, not the Terran race; but as a Terran player, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt and in all honesty, that only 1 out of every 10 games I lose against Protoss makes me feel like I've been outplayed. The rest of the time, it’s either because I made one single mistake that turned out to be immediately devastating, or because of absolute bullshit that only works in BO1 on the ladder.

This feeling—taken to its extreme by Artosis—is the feeling of every average Terran player.

On the other hand, when I lose to Zerg, I feel like it’s deserved 9 times out of 10. Protoss is THE race of easy wins.

I’ll grant you that the Defiler is the best unit in the game. But to claim that Zerg is easier to play than Protoss is simply dishonest. The average skill level of Terran or Zerg players at C and B tiers compared to the “skill” of Protoss players of the same ranks is simply incomparable.

You want an example? Here is my hardly winning against a 50 APM Protoss Player with 280 APM on the ladder (I actually won only once out of three games against this guy, believe it or not):

Can you, at the very least, admit that Protoss is BY FAR the easiest race to play of the three, all the way up to A rank?

At a pro level, I'll admit that it seems different at the moment (mainly because the Protoss line up actually sucks.

If Protoss struggles at the highest level (we're talking less than 0,1 % of players), it's NOT because Protoss is too hard and Zerg is too easy! How can someone even argue that?!
